Hello fellow Texan (?) ...

There are some outdoor running tracks - around the hospital and around the university.  However, it being outdoors, women will still be subject to the same dress code - no shorts or runnigh suit unless it is worn under the abaya. 

I live on a compound and the women in the compound are not subject to the same rules inside - so they can run in shorts or running suit.  No worries there.

I do not see a lot of folks on bikes - unless it is the motorized kind. 

W3elcome to Riyadh!!

Thank you for the update. You're response is very helpful and yes, a TX girl from Austin.

hi could i ask which compound?

I love Austin!!  I have a lot of friends who went to school there.  Interestingly enough I even saw a car here in Riyadh with a UT bumper sticker.  I was so surprised when I saw it that I had to take a picture and send to my friends back home.  hahaha

@sladepa - I live at the Sahara Towers Compound on Olaya.

Hi Houstonian,

a question is the granada compund good...?
appreciate a response . Thanks

@sladepa ... Even though I have not personally been in that compound - I have heard a LOT of good things about it.  A comment that one of my expat colleagues made is ...

"... how the heck did he get into that place ... there is a long wait list ... "  hahaha

My colleague has been here a long time and I figure that based on that response that he is jealous that you got into that compound.  Lol

thanks that is very re assuring.
